Simple Joys of the Season

 

Happy Thursday! I have a beautiful holiday card to share with you today. I think this is the earliest I've ever made a Christmas project, ever! Crazy to already be thinking about the holidays. Time goes by so fast...sigh...

This week my teams color challenge was to use Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, and Merry Merlot. I thought these colors would come together well for a Christmas card. I pulled out the lovely Christmas Pines stamp set + Pretty Pines thinlit dies for this card. I'm definitely love'n the clean simplicity of this card. Clean and simple is my new jam!☺

Whisper White thick card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Merry Merlot layer 3-1/8" x  4-1/8"

Whisper White layer 3" x 4"

Helpful Tips:

• On your whisper white cardstock, ink up the less bold pine image in pool party. Stamp it off on scratch paper and then stamp it on your whisper white. Do this several times to create a light background on this layer.
• Loop gold metallic thread behind your sentiment to add a pop of shine and elegance.
• Jazz up your envelope flap with some designer paper (Under the Mistletoe).

For A Special Teacher

Happy Monday! I thought I would share a fun teacher card idea with you today. I can't believe school is already back in session for so many. Where did the summer go??

When the new annual catalog launched, I was so excited to see a "teacher"stamp set had been added. As a former teacher of 11 years, I LOVE teacher themed sentiments and I feel like we rarely offer them in our catalogs. I grabbed this Picked for You set immediately!

I created this card for my teams "Back to School" theme challenge a couple of weeks ago, but also because I wanted to send some fun cards to my fellow teacher friends to wish them a wonderful school year. I think this card turned out perfectly. I'm looking forward to dropping several of these by the post this week.
